My daughter graduated from SJA about 15 years ago. She was more than prepared for college, and is now a very successful small business owner. The school reinforced what we were trying to do at home, both academically and spiritually. I also think that single sex education is a net plus. Sometimes girls have a tendency to defer to the boys-for fear of how they might look or sound. At SJA, there’s no worry about that, and I think that’s why you see so many successful alum coming out of there.

There is a tremendous amount of data supporting this. Adolecents tend to perform better in single-sex educational environments.

It's actually the other way around. While girls do perform better in single-sex environments, their gains aren't as much as boys in single-sex environments. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that the American education system is generally geared towards how women think and behave and when boys are removed from that system and placed in a system that teaches them more like how males think and behave, they excel.
